The artificial beach and water adventure park is the main attraction for the hosting of various tourist events, such as beach parties, beauty pageants and surfing competitions. Sun City attracts more than a million visitors, and Pilanesberg National Park more than 350 000 visitors, per year. ARTS AND CULTURE The Moses Kotane Local Municipality plays a significant role in early childhood development programmes, as well as skills development programmes. In addition, three more libraries have been constructed, one each Mogwase, Mantserre and Tlokweng. The Mantserre Library was constructed by Amandelbult Anglo Platinum Mine as a contribution towards their social responsibility to the community; the mine currently awaits the go-ahead from the Department of Arts and Culture for the finalisation of the library. The Tlokweng Library, which has been added on to the Mabeeskraal Library, is still under construction. PUBLIC FACILITIES The Moses Kotane Local Municipality provides public facilities for the community to ensure an attractive, safe and healthy environment with clean, well-kept natural open spaces, parks and recreation facilities. Some of the public facilities in this municipality include: • Mogwase Library • Mantserre Library • Tlokweng Library • Matlametlong Hall • Segakwaneng Hall NORTH WEST • Legkraal Hall • Mononono Hall • Kortkloof Hall • Ga-Mananmela Cultural Village • Makweleng Hall. DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Municipality’s IDP is concerned with allocating public resources in the most effective and efficient way in order to provide a framework for community, economic and environmentally sustainable development at the local level. Developmental plans of the Municipality take into account land usage, focusing on the Mogwase area as a Central Business District (CBD) that is not being fully utilised considering its strategic location. New investors, as well as the provision of bulk services, are required to allow for the full utilisation and development of the CBD. On the western side of the Municipality is Madikwe Township, which also has huge potential to develop and expand based on the availability of land surrounding the existing township. Three informal settlements have also been identified, namely Mogwase Unit 8, Lerome South and Qwetsheza informal settlements. These informal areas were established due to the high demand for housing development, particularly in the eastern part of the Municipality. Other areas, such as Ledig, have also started to experience land invasion. This is because of employment opportunities in the mining developments, which are being established in close proximity to these areas.

  • North-West Province
    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.

Armecin Johannah Motswatswe Surika Rabe Vamsidhar Reddy TS Kamal Vatta Bayan Yesperova This report is the product of team work with equal contribution from the authors whose names are listed in alphabetical order International Centre for development North West Department of oriented Research in Agriculture Agriculture, Conservation and (ICRA) Environment (NWDACE), Eastern PO Box 88, 6700 AB Wageningen Region, Private Bag X82070 The Netherlands Steen Street 37, Rustenburg South Africa ABSTRACT The Mankwe and Madikwe Districts have serious problems regarding the conservation of natural resources. These areas are characterised by severe infrastructural deficiencies such as lack of irrigation equipment, roads, drinking, handling facilities for livestock, and fencing. Communal practices in time resulted in the reduction of genetic diversity of fauna and flora, which in turn created pressure on resources. The area is progressively drier from east to west with an annual rainfall of less than 600mm per annum. The study followed the Agriculture Research for Development (ARD) procedure developed by ICRA to achieve the objectives set for the field study. The village households were classified into six different household types on the basis of their sources of income and the nature of agricultural enterprises. Primary data were collected from 50 households spread over different household types.
